I am trying to create a home-made gun to be attached to the HTC VIVE Tracker. As part of that, I have designed a vibration circuit to work with a 3V input signal, and it works fine with 3 volts.
The problem is when I use it with the Tracker. I thought it worked at first, but then I noticed that the strength of the haptic feedback was less than when I connected the circuit to a 3V DC output. So then, I measured the output pin with a multimeter, and I observed that the output was about 1.5 volts, half of what's supposed to be. I want to find a solution.
An important thing is that I am testing it with a console program I created using the openVR API. To trigger the API, I use the following code:
//Write the vibration time in milliseconds on terminalcin >> input;if (input == 0) return true; //Program closes if time written equals zerofor (int i = 0; i < input; i += 5) { vr_pointer->TriggerHapticPulse(id, 0, 5000); this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(5));}
